1. When the ready light illuminates, begin cleaning
by slowly passing over surface while pressing the
steam on demand trigger to emit steam as needed.
2. To sanitise an area of your floor, (attack invis-
ible germs and bacteria) place the center
of the Lift-Off Steam Mop over the spot and
apply steam for a minimum of 15 seconds, but
no longer than 20 seconds. For larger areas,
overlap swivel head placement.
Important: Sanitising on timber floors is not
recommended, as prolonged application of steam
in one area increases the risk of damage to the
surface treatment of timber floors, especially in
areas with regular foot traffic and direct sunlight,
which will wear down timber floor surface
treatments, making it more susceptible to steam
damage. See CAUTION to the right.
3. When the Lift-Off Steam Mop stops emitting
steam, simply remove the water tank, refill,
and continue cleaning.
nOTe: upon first use of this steam prod-
uct or first use of a new filter, the pump
may make a "knocking" sound while the
filter fills with water. This sound is normal
and may last up to one minute. continue
to depress the trigger until the knocking
sound subsides and the unit emits steam.
steam cleaning all living areas
Stubborn messes that resist traditional water and
cleaning solutions can be removed with steam.
Toothpaste or hair spray on the bathroom sink,
soap scum on sliding shower walls—steam makes
all these far easier to clean.
1. Fill the water tank with cool tap water or dis-
tilled/demineralized water and replace back on
Detachable Steam Pod.
2. Remove Steam Pod by pressing the pod release
button on the top of the carry handle and pulling
the pod out and away from the lower base.
3. Remove cord from pod and connect the plug to
an appropriate outlet.
4. Remove hose from pod by pressing the clip at
the end of the hose where it connects to the
detachable pod.
5. Connect desired tool to the end of the hose.
6. When blue ready light turns on, the steamer is
ready to use.
7. To activate steam, press the pod release button

WARnInG:
Never put descaling, aromatic
(not including the BISSELL Eucalyptus
Mint and water products), alcoholic
or detergent product into the steam
cleaner, as this may damage it or
make it unsafe for use.
Tip:
During first use, it may
take several seconds for
the Lift-Off Steam Mop
to begin steaming. The
water needs to flow
through the filter to the
heater. This delay will
only occur during initial
use or when using a
new filter.
cAuTIOn:
Exercise extreme care when
using the Lift-Off Steam Mop
on timber flooring. Ensure the
Lift-Off Steam Mop is thoroughly
tested in an inconspicuous area
prior to mopping a large floor
area. The Lift-Off Steam Mop
generates hot steam, so when
depressing the trigger to apply
steam, ensure the Lift-Off Steam
Mop is moving continuously.
The trigger does not need to
be depressed at all times.
Prolonged application of steam
in one area increases the risk
of damage to the surface treat-
ment on timber floors. Check
with your timber floor treatment
and application specialist prior
to Lift-Off Steam Mop operation.
Regular foot traffic and direct
sunlight will wear down timber
floor surface treatment, making
it more susceptible to steam
damage. Exercise extreme care
when using the Lift-Off Steam
Mop on timber flooring.
